    Ellen

    Asked on March 28th, 2026

    I just turned 36 in February, and I would like to know what makes this trip only age appropriate for 18-35? Do you offer trips that are reasonable price for those over 35+?

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      This specific trip is part of our 18–35s travel style, which is strictly available for travellers aged 18 to 35 at the time of travel.

      The reason this trip has the 18–35 age range is mainly due to the style of travel, pace, and accommodation setup. These tours are designed to be very fast-paced and social, with only a few included activities, some local or public transportation, and a more basic accommodation style. This can include multi-share hostel rooms, often with 4–6 travellers per room, which tends to appeal more to that age group and travel style.

      That said, we do have a very similar option available in our 18–39s travel style, which is an 8-day itinerary and could be a great alternative for you while still offering a fun social group experience at a reasonable price point.

    • E

      Ellen

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Can you modify the trip for me to spend time in the mountains and less time at the beach? I'm from Florida, so the ocean isn't something I want to see in Costa Rica. I would like to see the volcanoes if possible within 5 days. Please let me know how you can modify this itinerary for me.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      Our tours operate on fixed itineraries, and we're unfortunately unable to accommodate customizations.

    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2026

      We do not operate this tour in April. We have some departures in March and some in May. Let us know if you would be able to travel during one of those months so that we can share the dates.

    Lesley

    Asked on January 28th, 2026

    Would it be possible to book this tour as a 40-year-old?

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      This tour is a part of our Roamies travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 35 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

    • L

      Lesley

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I know that there is a tour that leaves on February 2 until February 10. Would it be possible to add one traveler to that tour or if you could double check to see if maybe someone canceled?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately the departure for the 02nd is fully sold out, however there is a possibility you could join for the departure on the 06th February, however we would need to request space and in order to do this we would require full payment, in the event that we could not get you confirmed it would be fully refundable.

    Asked on January 11th, 2026

    What is the best tour to not get car sick?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Car sickness can be tricky on itineraries in Costa Rica as the only way to get around is via car/bus. Are you okay if you sit at the front of the bus?

    • J

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Yes the front would be better, is there air conditioning

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      The private vehicles do have air conditioner however I have emailed our team to double check with them and will advise once I have feedback this can take 2-3 working days

    Don

    Asked on January 10th, 2026

    I have a group of 7 passengers looking into a tour. They already have flights, and are arriving January 29 and returning February 3. Would be possible for you to adjust the dates for this group? Or make a small tour just for them?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      No, we cannot change the tour dates. If you have 8 travellers or more, you can see about creating a private departure with out Private Groups department. Otherwise, they will need to create a booking for 7 travellers based on this requested tour departure date of Jan 27th - Feb 1st. This will greatly depend on the traveller sexes and the rooming style they request to book for. We currently have 9 spots to request for shared bathroom - Female-only dorm, 3 spots to request for shared bathroom - Double/Twin, and 10 spots to request for shared bathroom - Mixed gender dorm.

    Asked on November 18th, 2025

    Do the kids (12 and 10 years old) pay the same?

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten November 2025

      The Costa Rica tour is designed for travellers aged 18-35 years old. Travellers must be 35 years old or younger (but at least 18 years old) as of Day 1 of the departure date of the tour. Children 12+ who can take a regular tour will pay the same rate as an adult. On a family style tour children under the age of 12 pay a lower rate.

    Greg

    Asked on November 15th, 2025

    My husband and I are 45 and our daughter is 17. Is that range just recommended or are we not able to do this?

      This tour is exclusively for 18-39 year olds. Travellers must be between 18 and 39 years as of Day 1 of the departure date of the tour.

    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      This tour does not offer transfer it can be added on for an additional cost. We do not offer insurance but I believe Tourradar can help with this. This tour does not offer a single room option.

    Samantha

    Asked on June 12th, 2025

    Can you share pictures of the female-only dorms that would be used in this tour. I am a bit concerned, how the shared bathroom arrangements will work.

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Though we do not have photographs to share for the female-only dorms of the accommodations used for this tour, you may independently research the usually used accommodations listed below: Costa Rica Backpackers in San Jose, To de determined accommodation in La Fortuna, Hotel Quetzal Inn Monteverde in Monteverde.
